Has a team traded so much defensive talent in one trade since Pronger?

Not at the time of the trade they weren't. You can't just say how much Hamilton and Fox are worth now and say they are better than Lindholm and Hanifin, hence Flames lost the trade. I mean, by that standard, you can argue Hamilton is worth way less because he's now UFA. Fox only started making a big impact this year, after we've had 3 years of Lindholm and Hanifin.
